THANKS for the great info. This is a wonderful bit of history. We just don’t know what we will find when we start looking. I always wondered why it was called Williams Station day! Keep up the good work. We here in the north end would still be in the dark if not for this great site.

My dad always said that Atmore was first called “William’s Switch”. Does anyone know if it was ever called that too?

William, This is so neat. I did not know any of this. I have always heard about C.P. Atmore and his work but not old, “Uncle Bud”. I wonder if he is kin to any of the present day Williams that a still around. Hum…
William is there any books by Thower, Ward or Brown/Students?
I sure would like to read about the area.

Thanks
